Jason Hope’s Internet Of Things Focuses On Airlines

Jason Hope is a renowned futurist and an entrepreneur who has been making a big difference in the tech industry for years. Hope has recently shifted his focus to the burgeoning field that is the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things is an umbrella term for the wireless connection between everyday objects and the internet. The IoT is, in Hope’s opinion, one of the biggest and most important industries in the future. Here Hope looks at just how the IoT is changing the airline industry.

Jason Hope points to the actual build of an airplane in order to focus on how important the Internet of Things actually is. Hope points out that every part of Virgin Atlantic’s Boeing 787 is built to connect and interface with the web. From the front of the plane to the tail, the Boeing 787 is giving data off in real time to a computer so that analysts can make sure the plane is operational and up to standards.

Shifting gears from the technical aspect of the plane itself we can see that the Internet of Things is changing how customer service operates as well. Hope points to how airline passengers can have it rough due to mistreatment, overbooking, and rising prizes as vindication for this thought. The Internet of Things will, through data collection and interfacing, offer passengers even more freedom in the future. Jason Hope’s work as a futurist all but guarantees these thoughts and we haven’t seen him wrong yet on this subject!
